Fall Field Fridays
- Second offering of the Preschool Family Series
- Offered Fridays: November 1st to 22nd
Join us on our outdoor adventures before the winter sets in! Learn together about cool animals that hibernate or migrate and those that have amazing abilities to thrive in the winter months, as well. In the spirit of our beautiful New England fall, we’ll become citizen scientists studying how a pumpkin transforms into food for the tiniest and coolest of creatures that you’ll turn over rocks and logs and dig deep to find! We’ll end with the release of some of the most important of these tiny beings into the Aquarium Green, ladybugs from our preschool classroom! Meet up at one of our beautiful state parks for a grand expedition with our field explorers.
You and your preschoolers, ages 3-6, are invited to join us for our Preschool Family Series of programs! These 1-hour programs will occur regularly on a given day of the week from 10:00am to 11:00am in our exciting early childhood classroom. We will offer these themed programs in packages of four, occurring weekly. They are designed to build upon each other in content as you journey with us from week to week over the four weeks! Each program will include engaging content designed by early childhood educators, exciting crafts and activities using our unique Aquarium and preschool-aged resources, and a token souvenir of the program’s theme.
- 1 preschooler (ages 3-6) with 1 adult guardian in support of their preschooler
- Weekly themed programs that run for four weeks from 10-11am, so each package includes four, 1-hour programs
- We apologize for any inconvenience, as individual days are not available for purchase.
- $125 for Members for a child ages 3-6 and accompanying adult / ($150 for non-members).
- Please note that an adult guardian must be present with their participating child at all times during the program.
- Due to limited space, only 1 adult will be able to attend per participating child
- You also may register a “non-participating” sibling for a nominal fee of $10, ages 0-2. Again, due to space limitations, we need to account for all present in the room, so this includes an occupied baby stroller.
- You will enter/exit our educational building, so general admission is not required to attend this program.
- A member of the Education staff will meet you 5-minutes prior to start-time at the external parking lot entrance of Milne Ocean Science & Conservation Center, the angular building located on the far-right side of the Mystic Aquarium complex with overflow parking.
